On April 26, 2014, the Saturday Scholars students attended an Anatomy Lab that was facilitated by Wiley Lopez and Jorge Rocha of the Mini Med School Initiative at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School on Busch Campus at Rutgers University. Students that attended this lab were given the opportunity to learn about the human heart, brain, liver, knee, and skeletal structures. They were also introduced to the types of surgical interventions that can take place for individuals needing transplants and replacement surgeries. An in-depth discussion was held at each learning station highlighting each organ or system, further developing the student’s understanding of the human anatomy The students received an amazing hands-on learning experience and were thrilled to be given an opportunity to become more familiar with anatomy, science, and the medical field in general. It was a terrific learning experience for all!
